+1 to Throne of Blood. I heard somewhere that it was T.S. Eliot's favourite film*, which, if it were true, would be pretty cool. Awesome use of mist to obscure/reveal. Black and white film at its best.

Apropos "Ran", you should seek out Chris Marker's documentary on the making of it. Fascinating stuff. Knew a Japanese kendoka who was an extra in the battle scenes when she was still in high school. b

* Here we go, Derek Malcolm said so in the Guardian, so it must be true.
